I don’t know...my husband gets up frequently, leaves the building even, BUT is a true WT believer. He probably listens to about an hour combined of the assembly day and I think that’s precisely why he hasn’t woken up.
That you know of.
i was sat in the assembly hall yesterday, wondering how many pimo ones like me there was there.
or even if they don't know ttatt still don't believe it for whatever reason.. i think there must be more of (us) there than we all realise.
i mean, brothers reaching out is at an all time low, information via the internet is at an all time high and the preaching work has now become a motionless, speechless babysitting of a book shelf advertising a website as someone here pointed out!.

just had 2 jw's from my local kh ring my doorbell and then put the invitation through my letterbox.
absolutely no desire to talk to local jw's who know me, so i declined to answer the door.. on the subject of the invite, the very first sentence deceptively says - "on the night before he died, jesus told his followers to commemorate his death.
he said, keep doing this in remembrance of me.".

Interesting that what I suggested in your part one didn't seem to be a welcome thought, yet that's exactly what you did.
Go figure.

No, they are assholes. Learn to socialize 101: You are perfectly fine in the way you are, talk and do things. Don't fall in the trap of growing insecure because of feeling not accepted socially. Those two bitches are big fat nobodies. Move on.

Yes, I have suggestion. Beards grow on their own. All you have to do is groom it.

Have you tried Facebook? Seems like a good starting point.
i consider myself an amateur watchtower history buff.
i have always read that maria frances ackley russell, charles taze russell's first and only wife, went to a teacher training college and was a teacher for a number of years before marrying russell.
but, i have never seen proof that she truly did finish college and became a certified teacher.
Interesting.
the tv media are talking about this today... in u k anyway.
as a witness , my mum never expected or received any recognition on that day .
now, on the outside it seems very harsh and nit-picking.
We never had a direct celebration, but there was always a mention in my home about people's birthdays and mother's day. For father's day, my father used to always make a joke about that being "dog's day" (those were the days before PETA and people talking to dogs like they are babies, that we see today).
There was never an official celebration, but it was certainly always acknowledged.
hi to everyone!i was summoned to the judicial committee and went.
it was a respectful conversation from one side to the other.
in the end i handed the dissociation letter in hand and a binding to each of the elders, with an article i wrote on the subject, "are jehovah's witnesses a destructive sect?
That is quite an impactful letter! Very powerful thoughts. Love the confidence quality to it, and the mention that you were and elder and also grew up in that organization.
They tend to dismiss people because they claim that people haven't been long enough or involved enough in that organization. They can't say that about you.
Thank you so much for sharing it.

Way back when I had similar thoughts, and my theory was that I can identify those by their behavior, which was similar to mine. Those that constantly find an excuse to get out, walk around, always have some kind of something to take care of, those who always volunteer to do work that keeps them away from sitting all day.
Never had the chance to prove my theory, but I think some behaviors are telling.
how in the hell would it ever work?
everyone is youthful, everyone is perfect, everyone's personality is loving and kind.
how would you choose somebody?
How in the hell would it ever work? Everyone is youthful, everyone is perfect, everyone's personality is loving and kind. How would you choose somebody? Just randomly or what? Another thing that just doesn't make sense.
Maybe going back to ancient bible times when you would just buy a woman, trade her, or have your friends sexually assault her as they please, just to show hospitality.
